Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the functional block diagram of an example of wavelength-selective switches (WSS) 100, in some cases, wavelength selection Switch 100 can further comprise integrated channel monitor.As illustrated, showing 3 kinds of different functions in figure:21 × n WSS, is represented with WSS 10 and WSS 20, and 1 optical channel monitor 30 (OCM).It should be understood, however, that as follows Described, 3 kinds of different functions can be incorporated into a single one physical switching equipment.
WSS 10 includes input port 12 and output port 141、142、143、144With 145(“14”).Switching fabric 16 will be defeated Inbound port 12 is optically coupled to output port 14, and making can be in switch controller 40 in the optical signalling that output port 12 is received The a port into output port 14 is optionally guided under control.Similarly, WSS 20 includes input port 22 and defeated Exit port 241、242、243、244With 245(“24”).Input port 22 is optically coupled to output port 24 by switching fabric 26, is made Optionally guided to output port 24 under control of the optical signalling that output port 22 is received in switch controller 40 In a port.
It should be noted that although WSS 10 and WSS 20 are described as having 5 output ports, it is however generally that, It can use any number of output port, and output port quantity in 2 function element can be with identical, can also not Together.
The function of optics as shown in Figure 1 is using the most of identical optical element of two optical switch functions To realize.Such as LCoS spatial light modulators can be used in the device, and LCoS can be shared by two wavelength-selective switches.
Fig. 2 can be used as the front view of the LCoS devices 21 of the spatial light modulator of optics shown in Fig. 1.Optics is opened 3 wavelength components λ of first optical switch in the Central Shanxi Plain1、λ2And λ3Along the upper shown partially of LCoS devices 21.3 wavelength components λ1、λ2And λ3Separate along wavelength dispersion axis (x-axis) space, and extend along multiple pixels 19 of LCoS devices 21.On the contrary, light Learn 3 wavelength components λ ' of the second optical switch of switch1、λ’2And λ '3It is shown partially under along LCoS devices 21.The wavelength into Divide λ '1、λ’2And λ '3Also it can separate along wavelength dispersion axis (x-axis) space.Although it should be noted that wavelength shown in figure into The light beam divided has oval cross section, still, it is however generally that, the cross section of light beam can be arbitrary shape, including but not limit In circular and crescent.In addition, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the quantity of wavelength components can be in different embodiments In it is different, and 3 wavelength components shown in figure are used for illustrative purposes only.
The wavelength components associated with the first optical switch are by the mutual space displacement between wavelength components along y-axis and second The associated wavelength components of optical switch are isolated, and y-axis therein in this article refers to port axis.However, crosstalk is still deposited In (e.g., the wavelength components λ of the first optical switch especially between the composition of two optical switches of wavelength identical1With second The wavelength components λ ' of optical switch1Between).A kind of method for reducing crosstalk separates wavelength two light of identical for further space Learn the composition of switch.
A kind of method for completing additional isolation is to make (associated with first switch) first group of wavelength components along wavelength color Dissipate axis (e.g., the x-axis shown in Fig. 2) and be spatially offset from (associated with second switch) second group of wavelength components.Also It is to say, (e.g., wavelength is to λ to being deviated from each other along wavelength dispersion axis for the respective wavelength in every group of composition1And λ '1Deviate from each other, ripple Length is to λ2And λ '2Deviate from each other, and wavelength is to λ3And λ '3Deviate from each other).Fig. 3 is the front view of LCoS devices 21, therein Wavelength components with regard to carrying out space separation in this way.Offset can be it is specific, can also in different embodiments it is each not It is identical.However, additional isolation largely generally realizes that offset therein, which is compared, to be not less than using skew Beam effective diameter.For example, the offset between half beam diameter and 2 beam diameters has in kinds of schemes Effect, is remarkably improved isolation effect.
Below in conjunction with Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B to an example available for the WSS for providing wavelength components form (such as institute in Fig. 3 Show) illustrate.
Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B are simplified optics (e.g., free space wavelength selecting switch WSS 100) top view respectively And side view, free space wavelength selecting switch WSS 100 therein can be combined with embodiments of the invention to be used.Light can lead to Fiber waveguide (e.g., optical fiber) input and output WSS 100 are crossed, fiber waveguide therein is used as input port and output port.Optical fiber Collimator array 101 include the First Series optical fiber 120 associated with WSS 10 shown in Fig. 1 and with WSS 20 shown in Fig. 1 Associated second series optical fiber 130.Every single optical fiber is associated with collimater 102, and the collimater 102 can be by from every The light of root optical fiber is converted into free space beam.
As best shown in Fig. 4 b, the optical fiber 120 in the first series of fibers 1201、1202、1203With 1204With the second optical fiber Optical fiber 130 in series 1301、1302With 1303It is cross-linked.Similarly, as shown in fig 4b, the optical fiber in First Series 120 It is angularly offset from the optical fiber in the second series of fibers 130.The deviation angle makes the WSS 10 different from two and the phases of WSS 20 (port axis) carries out spatial deviation (as shown in Figure 2) to the wavelength of association in the y-direction on LCoS devices 21.
As best shown in Fig. 4 A, the optical fiber in the first series of fibers 120 extends along the first public face, and therein first is public The coplanar y-z plane for shown in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B.On the contrary, the optical fiber in the second series of fibers 130 prolongs along the second public face Stretch, the second public face therein is parallel and offset from the first public face.Offset between first and second series of fibers makes and the Along the x directions (wavelength dispersion axis) shown in Fig. 3 between common wavelength composition associated one WSS 10 and the 2nd WSS 20 Carry out spatial deviation.
The free space beam of a pair of telescopes or optical beam expander amplification from array of ports 101.First telescope or Optical beam expander is formed by optical element 106 and 107, and the second telescope or optical beam expander are by the shape of optical element 104 and 105 Into.
In Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, the optical element of light is influenceed to be expressed as in two diagrams with solid line in two axial lines Biconvex lens optics.And on the other hand, only the optical element of influence light is then expressed as with solid line on an axis Planoconvex spotlight on impacted axis.The optical element of light is only influenceed on an axis by further with impregnable axle Dotted line on line is represented.For example, in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, optical element 102,108,109 and 110 is in two figures with solid line table Show.And on the other hand, optical element 106 and 107 is represented (because optical element has focusing energy along y-axis with solid line in Figure 4 A Power), and (because optical element does not influence light beam along y-axis) is represented by dotted lines in figure 4b.Optical element 104 and 105 is in Fig. 4 B In (because optical element has focusing power along x-axis) is represented with solid line, and be represented by dotted lines in Figure 4 A (because optical element is not Light beam is influenceed along y-axis).
Each telescope can create different multiplication factors in the x and y direction.For example, by optical element 104 and 105 Formed in the x direction amplification light telescope magnifying power can be less than by optical element 106 and 107 formed in y directions The magnifying power of the telescope of upper amplification light.
